Goddess Gagged

[Intro]

Oh God!

[Breakdown]

The sound they must have heard in the distance

A wilderness of sound and movement repeating itself across the narrows of the mountainsides

The cries of creatures crashing

On cold rock

The human voices heralding the hillside

Their bellows bounding ripe with resonance

From here the unimportant call received the all important answer

Oh Goddess who bore us what we must have done

[Verse 1]

Goddess who bore us what we must have done

Bury your daughter and pray for a son

[Verse 2]

The wind and the rain

(Goddess who bore us what we must have done)

Spoke a language of wonder

(Bury your daughter and pray for a son)

To a species rising thickly to a dialogue with thunder

[Verse 3]

In the empty space between hunger and thirst

In the empty space between better and worse

Language unravels and irony hurts

[Interlude]

Yeah!

[Bridge]

In the common place between hunger and thirst

The words that define us, a blessing and curse

The words that confine the ideas traversed the ear to hear the song without verse

The sound of the sound of the sound utter first

With a burst into nothing so sudden

So sudden and soft

The sound of the sound of the sound utter first

Burst into nothing so soothing and soft

[Outro]

The silence inside you when the music has stopped

The silence inside you when the music has stopped

When the music has stopped
